The Early Work of Austin Clarke the Early Work (1916-1938)
THE EARLY WORK OF AUSTIN CLARKE THE EARLY WORK (1916-1938) OF AUSTIN CLARKE By MAURICE RIORDAN, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University March 1981 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1981) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Early Work (1916-1938) of Austin Clarke. AUTHOR: Maurice Riordan, B.A. (Cork) M.A. (Cork) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Brian John NUMBER OF Fll.GES: vi, 275 ii ABSTRACT Austin Clarke dedicated himself to the ideal of an independent Irish literature in English. This dedication had two principal consequences for his work: he developed a poetic style appropriate to expressing the Irish imagination, and he found inspiration in the matter of Ireland, in hex mythology and folklore, in her literary, artistic and __ religious traditions, and in the daily life of modern Ireland. The basic orientation of Clarke's work determines the twofold purpose of this thesis. It seeks to provide a clarifying background for his poetry, drama and fiction up to 1938; and, in examining the texts in their prope.r context, it seeks to reveal the permanent and universal aspects of his achievement. Clarke's early development in response to the shaping influence of the Irish Revival is examined in the opening chapter. His initial interest in heroic saga is considered, but, principally, the focus is on his effort to establish stylistic links between the Anglo-Irish and the Gaelic traditions, an effort that is seen to culminate with his adoption of assonantal verse as an essential element in his poetic technique. -

ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS David Gilligan ONCE ALIEN HERE
ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTER ARIA ANGLICA 4, 2000 David Gilligan University of Łódź ONCE ALIEN HERE: THE POETRY OF JOHN HEWITT John Hewitt, who died in 1987 at the age of 80 years, has been described as the “elder statesman” of Ulster poetry. He began writing poetry in the 1920s but did not appear in book form until 1948; his final collection appearing in 1986. However, as Frank Ormsby points out in the 1991 edition of Poets From The North of Ireland, recognition for Hewitt came late in life and he enjoyed more homage and attention in his final years than for most of his creative life. In that respect he is not unlike Poland’s latest Nobel Prize winner in literature. His status was further recognized by the founding of the John Hewitt International Summer School in 1988. It is somewhat strange that such a prominent and central figure in Northern Irish poetry should at the same time be characterised in his verse as a resident alien, isolated and marginalised by the very society he sought to encapsulate and represent in verse. But then Northern Ireland/Ulster is and was a strange place for a poet to flourish within. In relation to the rest of the United Kingdom it was always something of a fossilised region which had more than its share of outdated thought patterns, language, social and political behaviour. Though ostensibly a parliamentary democracy it was a de-facto, one-party, statelet with its own semi-colonial institutions; every member of the executive of the ruling Unionist government was a member of a semi-secret masonic movement (The Orange Order) and amongst those most strongly opposed to the state there was a similar network of semi-secret societies (from the I.R.A. -

Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42035-8 — The Cambridge Companion to Irish Poets Edited by Gerald Dawe Frontmatter More Information the cambridge companion to irish poets The Cambridge Companion to Irish Poets offers a fascinating introduction to Irish poetry from the seventeenth century to the present. Aimed primarily at lovers of poetry, it examines a wide range of poets, including household names, such as Jonathan Swift, Thomas Moore, W. B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett, Seamus Heaney, Patrick Kavanagh, Eavan Boland, and Paul Muldoon. The book is comprised of thirty chapters written by critics, leading scholars and poets, who bring an authoritative and accessible understanding to their subjects. Each chapter gives an overview of a poet’s work and guides the general reader through the wider cultural, historical and comparative contexts. Exploring the dual traditions of English and Irish-speaking poets, this Companion represents the very best of Irish poetry for a general audience and highlights understanding that reveals, in clear and accessible prose, the achievement of Irish poetry in a global context. It is a book that will help and guide general readers through the many achievements of Irish poets. GERALD DAWE is Professor of English and Fellow of Trinity College Dublin. A distinguished poet, he has published eight collections of poetry with The Gallery Press, including, most recently, Selected Poems (2012) and Mickey Finn’s Air (2014). He has also published several volumes of literary essays, and has edited various anthologies, including Earth Voices Whispering: Irish War poetry, 1914–1945 (2008). A complete list of books in the series is at the back of this book. -
WB Yeats and Modernist Poetry
5 LAURA O’CONNOR W. B. Yeats and Modernist Poetry I Widely acclaimed as a major modernist and a foundational Irish-national poet, W. B. Yeats is essential to any discussion of Irish-modernist poetry. However, among the major Irish modernists – Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett – only Joyce’s modernism is uncontroversial, not least for generational reasons. Yeats was born twenty years before and Beckett twenty years after most of the acclaimed high modernists, who, like Joyce, were born in the 1880s. A Victorian and self-professed “last Romantic” as well as a modernist, Yeats upsets the supposition that modernism constitutes a radical departure from what precedes it. Yeats’s publishing career corre- sponds exactly with the c.1890–1939 periodization of modernism: Oscar Wilde favorably reviewed Yeats’s The Wanderings of Oisin in 1889, and – at Yeats’s request – “Under Ben Bulben” was published in Irish newspapers after his death in 1939. Although Beckett is less known for his poetry than for his prose and plays, his poems in English and French extend from the prize-winning “Whoroscope” (1930) to “Comment Dire” (1989), so that their joint poetic production spans a century. Sanctioned by the expansionist trend of new modernist studies, many critics treat “modernism” as cover- ing the long twentieth century, or as radical aesthetic responses to moder- nity from roughly Charles Baudelaire to the present. This essay adopts that longer perspective, but concentrates on the 1930s–1950s period, between the heyday of 1920s high modernism and the second eff orescence of Irish poetry in the late 1960s. -

Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History
Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2005. 93 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye. This paper documents published sources related to autobiographies and oral histories of baseball players, pitchers, and managers who performed the preponderance of their professional career before the United States of America’s involvement with the Second World War. The paper separates the individual autobiographies into three sections based upon the era in which the player is most associated with: the Iron Age (1869-1902), the Silver Age (1903-1922), and the Golden Age (1904-1941). Each section arranges the players alphabetically by surname, and every player entry contains a photograph, brief biographical information, a quotation from the autobiography, and lists of anecdotal works, biographies, films, and museums correlating to the player, when available. The fourth section of the paper concerns oral history (1869-1941), arranging the monographs alphabetically, with each entry including information about the players interviewed similar to the first three sections, but arranged by the player’s occurrence in the monograph.

Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry. Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still, For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth.1 So W.H. Auden wrote in his elegy for W.B. Yeats. His view that poetry does not do political work is one shared by many people, poets included. While some lines of verse may be held aloft as a rallying cry and others might memorialize those who have fallen, few sonnets directly exert a revolutionary fervor.
